Back to All Characters

Lyney, a Pyro bow user, was the first five-star character released from Fontaine, Genshin Impact's fifth region. A stage magician and natural performer, much of Lyney's kit revolves around magic tricks and classic circus imagery. He joins his sister, Lynette, in being not only the first characters to be playable from Fontaine, but as the representatives of Fontaine's preview back in 2020.

RELATED: Lynette Ascension Materials

Those looking to ascend him and upgrade his talents will, of course, need to gather the right materials from around Teyvat. This will require some time spent in Fontaine, but some of his other items can be found elsewhere, too. Here's a complete guide to all the Lyney materials to bring him up to his full potential.

Genshin Impact - Lynette and Lyney

Lyney's a Pyro character, so Agnidus Agate gems will be central to his ascension. Along with the Agate, he'll also use Fatui Insignias, a drop from one of Fontaine's bosses, and a Fontaine local specialty, the Rainbow Rose.

Gemstones - Where to Find Agnidus Agate

Agnidus Agate is the gemstone used by all Pyro characters to ascend. It can be found in many ways, but its primary source is defeating bosses and trounce challenges that drop it, which include the following:

*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Agnidus Agate when they're aligned with Pyro.

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Fatui Insignias

Of the three characters introduced in Fontaine's first patch, Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet, Lyney is the only one who uses an enemy drop that can be found outside of Fontaine: Fatui Insignias. These special badges are dropped by various types of Fatui footsoldiers, including Skirmishers, Cicin Mages, and Pyro Agents — but not Mirror Maidens.

At higher levels, these enemies can drop better items:

  • Any level: Recruit's Insignia
  • Level 40 and up: Sergeant's Insignia
  • Level 60 and up: Lieutenant's Insignia

Boss Drop - How to Get Emperor's Resolution

One might not assume that a large monstrous crab is the source of a circus magician's ascension material, but that's how it is this time. Lyney's ascension material, called Emperor's Resolution, is dropped by the Emperor of Fire and Iron world boss, found in Fontaine. It can be found near Poisson!

Local Specialty - Rainbow Rose Locations

The local specialty used in Lyney's ascension is the Rainbow Rose. This colorful flower is, of course, only found in Fontaine. It's usually located in artificial gardens, rather than in the wild. Click here for a guide to all the Rainbow Rose locations!

For Lyney's required trounce mat, players will need to venture back to Sumeru, specifically to the Realm of Beginnings domain. By clearing this domain and paying the Original Resin cost, there is a chance to obtain the Primordial Greenbloom, which is the material he uses.

This domain is only accessible upon clearing the required steps of Nahida's second Story Quest, Sapientia Oromasdis Chapter: Act II - Homecoming.
